said by mityfowl:said by PrntRhd:Ethanol from corn has exactly the same energy per gallon as ethanol from cane. Ethanol from switchgrass is the same energy per gallon as both of the others.
The energy used to grow corn and process corn into ethanol is greater than that to grow cane, so the net energy advantage goes to cane.
The fact is the auto and power equipment manufacturers have to make the equipment run on what fuel is available/mandated.
I disagree a little with you.
I think we neeed to force the the EPA into publicly retract their love for ethanol,
You assume EPA government bureaucrats have a conscience or common sense.
EPA made rules that 49-state gasoline must contain oxygenates during certain months, this could be achieved by adding MTBE or Ethanol. Pick your poison...
